    This is something I’m confused about, I read somewhere that Qatar apparently hired North Koreans for labor?

    My English and (lived in America for over a decade) Qatari colleagues inform me though that most likely because the DPRK have their families hostage, they won’t attempt to flee or seek asylum so I’m sure that’s the reason. Also they probably all have like the same haircut because North Korea only allows like one haircut or something.

      The DPRK / China border is soft. Travel backwards and forwards over it happens every day with trade going back and forth. There is no need to go through some obscure Qatar exchange to get out of the DPRK.

      Lib article: https://widerimage.reuters.com/story/a-road-trip-on-the-edge-of-north-korea

      But the 1,420 km (880 mile) long border with China is a real challenge.

      Just like many reporters, I’ve visited places on it before, and got a few pictures here and there. But this time we did what I had always wanted - we drove from its south to its north end. In eight days we drove through mile after mile of nothing, guarded by no-one.

      Nothing guarded by nobody is actually a wonderful story, especially if you are in the mood to really look.

        Read the full text, not the summary, fascist.

        Also, what is it with you far-right idiots calling everyone remotely left of you “liberals”? Liberals aren’t leftists. I’m a communist, not a liberal or a fascist like you.
